Among L, M, X, Y and Z each having a different salary, X is getting more salary than only M. L is getting less salary than Y, who is not getting the highest salary. Who among the following getting highest salary.

Among L, M, X, Y and Z each having a different salary, X is getting more salary than only M. L is getting less salary than Y, who is not getting the highest salary. Who among the following getting highest salary. Correct Answer Z

The logic followed is:

L, M, X, Y and Z each having a different salary.

i) X is getting more salary than only M.

X > M

Important Points

As the word only is used this means X's salary is only greater than M.

ii) L is getting less salary than Y, who is not getting the highest salary.

Y > L but Y is not getting the highest. Y's salary is greater than L.

Mistake Points

Who is used for the second person in a connecting statement.

For example, in the above question : 

L is getting less salary than Y, who is not getting the highest salary.

Here, who is used for Y and not for L.

Thus combining the both we get:

Z > Y > L > X > M.

Thus Z is getting the highest salary.

Hence, the correct answer is "Z".
